Thanks. I will have to try again. I got the One Plus Promo and Kickback added.

I am also on TIULFM9, are you still getting the FF? mine dropped off.
Mine dropped too. I was promised to be able to take them. Now I lost two free lines and work hard to get them back.

I told t-mobile I do not really care how we call those promotions as long as those lines are still free.

How many free lines do you have now? what are the codes?

This is my new SOC: TIULFM9

I used to have 7 lines on simple family plan family match promo, 150$ for 4 lines. plus 2 free family and friends plan + 1 paid plan.

I now have 9 lines, 5 are supposed to be paid; 2 should still get them free (Old FF Promo); 1 3rd line on us, 1 2020 Line On Us 4 (20Q43P)

But I only have 20Q43P showing up on my account. do not see the other 3 lines.

Here is the developer tool showing:
{name: "Insider Discount", code: "EMPFNBM", amount: 62, usageBased: false,…}
1: {name: "2020 Line on Us 3", code: "20Q43P", amount: 30, usageBased: false,…}
That is the same plan that I have now. I switched recently also from oneplus 8 line plan to TIULFM9 plan. All promos including free lines were switched correctly. There is still some glitches in the billing, but will be taken care of. Two free line promos got unenrolled, and T-force rep added them back. You can check with them once the bill generated and T-force will adjust everything.
Don't know why the promos for some accounts stick and why they get unenrolled for others, but be patient and persistent. T-force is great that way in making things right.

Successful plan conversion from FRLTUL4LP plan to TIULFM9. My FRLTUL4LP plan was maxed out at 8 lines due to all the free line promotions, and I was really hesitant to change it since I was already paying a reasonable $120 all in. Skipped the last free line promotion, decided to jump in this round. Glad I did because the plan was successfully changed and my bill actually went down another $10 with the additional line.

My experience was:
  1. Backup screenshots of the account, price, promotions, line level promos, codes, etc.
  2. Asked about the free line promotion through chat using desktop.
  3. Agent immediately knew about the free line promo, asked to login to verify account, basic adding line questions (do I have a device, etc.)
  4. Confirmed there will be a plan change, all promos will carry over
  5. Explicitly ask about the discounts and account bill won't change to have it in the log
  6. After all the assurances, agent made the change, added the line, asked for SIM card payment.
  7. Checked account with agent on phone, saw my plan was over $250, agent confirmed that the promos takes a day or two to apply.
  8. Total time took 15 mins of chatting, backup copy of the chat to notepad.
  9. Checked back throughout the day, plan remained at $250.
  10. Received text messages that said I no longer qualified for promotions.
  11. Checked again this morning, prepping for a call to CSR, my plan is now $110, lower than before with the additional line active.

Now, with my 9 line TIULFM9 plan, I have the following account level promos:
TIULFM9
description: "Includes unlimited talk, text, and high-speed data for each line, with taxes and fees included. This plan is no longer for sale. "
discounts: [{name: "AutoPay Discount", code: "MEPYDIS40", amount: 40, usageBased: false,…},…]
0: {name: "AutoPay Discount", code: "MEPYDIS40", amount: 40, usageBased: false,…}
1: {name: "Insider Discount", code: "EMPFNBM", amount: 54, usageBased: false,…}
2: {name: "This One's on Us (AAL)", code: "AALPROMOB", amount: 30, usageBased: false,…}
3: {name: "2020 Line On Us", code: "20Q23P", amount: 30, usageBased: false,…}
4: {name: "2020 Line On Us 2", code: "20Q32P", amount: 30, usageBased: false,…}
5: {name: "2020 Line on Us 3", code: "20Q43P", amount: 30, usageBased: false,…}

I lost of couple of account level promos during the transition, but I'm not going to complain if my total bill is lower. I still have all my line level promos.
Some more interesting observations from studying my bill after my conversion from FRLTUL4LP plan to TIULFM9. TLDR: Kickback is working again, bill went down additional -$60.

FRLTUL4LP
I had 5 paid lines with line level promos and 3 free lines without line level promos. kickback didn't work and reps told me I was paying too little already so I stopped pushing for it every month.

TIULFM9
I have 5 paid lines with line level promos, 1 free line with line level promos (previously did not have line level promos), and 3 free lines without line level promos. I got -$60 kickback automatically on this bill.

Based on my experience, if you are on a similar FRLTUL4LP soc and discounts as I was previously, would recommend converting to TIULFM9.

I had been told FF is not compatible. I originally had 4th line + 1 FF, over the year my 4th line turned into 2 FF. I don't know if the 4th line free shared the same fate as FF.

I have AAL, LOU1, LOU2, LOU3. LOU4 didn't show up.

my challenges are:

I do not have those free line promos on my old plan. I only have 2 Friends and Family Free On Us but not working for any t-mobile one plans anymore.

any free lines they want to add beyond 2020 Line On Us 4 (20Q43P) are already expired and they need their supervisor to override.

I am confused here. If it did not show up. How do you know you have them?

I were told that I have 4 free lines by some agents too. but I do not think I have them since I did not see them on my account as well as in the "developer tool"

I understand the issue. I lost my 2 FF free lines when I switched from my old plan to the one plus plan in 2017. Back then, they had the same issue and couldn't add the free lines back. But, I had no complaints as they added a free 3rd line promo, Kickback and insider discount which made the overall bill lower. Converting from oneplus 8 line plan to a oneplus 9-12 plan is easier as the promos can be retained.

Ask T-force if they can add the current free line promos for those 2 lines in lieu of the FF promo. That's most likely the easiest way for the promos to work.

I added the 4th line but I don't think I am getting the discount/promo yet. FF works on the One TE plan + tax. I converted my TE to One TI, overall my cost increased by about $5 (my taxes were around $35, lost $40 with FF). If the LOU4 actually kicks in then I will get some discount later. Otherwise, my 9th LOU4 is like $5.

that is what I am working on now. I told angents that I do not care what the promotions they are called FF, LineOnUs1, EssentionalOnUs, LineOnUs2, as long as I can get 4 lines are free. I am ok..... but no luck yet. only have the newest line added for free. need to pay for 8 out 9 lines.

For those of you getting blocked from this promo due 12 line max, what you can do is convert one of your paid lines to MI line at $5/mth then add a new free line

Interesting, can you give more details on the free 3rd line promo they offered? What is the name listed and code? Thanks.
